Francis Palms, of Detroit, by a lite of ffu-

ligent and uuremitting application to one pur-
pose, accumulated the largest estate in Michigan.
In his later days the study of his life was to
devise some means of continuing the process oil
accretion after the hand which had built up the
estate was cold in death. On the best legal
advice attainable, will was drawn making the
estate indivsible until after the youngest of sew
eral actual and many possible grand children
had attained their majority. He also provided
that If either OF his two children should contest
the will his Tor herr share should go to the other
But again il has been shown that in this count. y
the power of man ends with his life BY mutual
consent Of all the parties in interest, a case was
brought in the Wayne Circuit Court to test the
validity Of the will. Both sides were argued by
distinguished counsel, but Judge Jennison has
decided that the will was invalid and the estate

The grand jury of the State of Florida, enquiring
IN and for the body Of the o.
for said county, In bringing our labors to close.
respectfully beg leave to report that We have made
law, and we congratulate the county on the small
number and light character Of criminal violations
of the law. A considerable portion Of our time has
been occupiedin the investigation Of certain rumors
Of grave crimes, but we have not had such testi-
mony. before rs IN reference to these rumon as
these matters The few bills We have presented
are not Of o serious or aggravated character.
The Board Of County Commissioners exhibited
an account of the receipts and disbursements Of
the county. The account Is rather imperfect, but
~e have examined and compared 1t with the books
and records, and believe the same to be correct.
The county finances In o good condition, the
obligations Of the county being at par
The court house 10 in q dilapdated condition,

Jail and The yard ought to be kept cleauly and as
choppy and the lower Wakulla bridge are in very
| bad, not TO say dangerous condition..
The roads of the county are generally In passable
| condition.
We have to some extent examined the official
books and records Of the county officers, and find
them as well kept as tt e limited numbex Of books
and appliances will admit Of
We recommend the County Commissioners to
supply the County Judges Office with the neces-
sary books In which to keep the records OF estites
We also recommend that q set of shelves or pigeon

We deem these things essential. to the proper
preservation Of the very important records of his
office, and ought to be supplied at once. In conclu
sion We beg to tender our thanks to his honor. D.
8. Walker, for his clear and able charge and for his
patient and uniform kindness to while In session.
We esteem his honor as useful man and an impair
tal and able Judge, and In behalf Of ourselves and

The plague spotted system of cal
jimmy and detraction to which some men
resort to defeat political opponents, is
just as reprehensible, just as odious in
politics as it is in social circles. 1t is al
ways persecution as cowardly as it is
vindictive. The strength of no man can
be augmented by such means, as it will
ultimately recoilj upon the man who
adopts it. The thunders of abuse fall
harmless upon the bucklers of right ard
results demonstrate the criminal folly of
those whose indulge in abuse Of men SEEK
ing high places The man who pursues
this course is like the filthy bird that be-
fouls her own nest, and he is a base
wretch who would stamp with infamy the
purest and the best were it necessary to
the base achievement of bis designs

tion of the good and be driven from COM

Nassau is talking about retaliatory
legislation against American shipping,
the trouble being an alleged discrimina-
ton against Nassau vessels by customs
officials at Key West. The matter has
not yet become of sufficient Importance
for diplomatic Intervention, so that for
the present at least citizens of the United
States may breathe freely.
The iniquity of the British govern
ment's criminal act amendment bill may
be gathered from the provision changing
the venues of trials from Ireland to Eng
land. This is a practical denial to the
Irish of their right to trial by jury Sc
cured through long years of struggle by
their fathers, and shows at once the ma

Major Reese, one of the incorperators of

A forage plant, new in this section,
is beng introduced this year, which has
proved itself far superior to milo maize,
German millet, or any of those plants.
1t is called Teosinte, South American
plant, and will not produce seed here.
Rev. A. P. Ashurst, living near Mrs. Bal.

year (his attention having been called to
it by friend), and found it far superior
to any recommendation given it. It can
be cut several times during the season,
and will grow up Immediately, and does
not become hard and tough like other
forage plants. Horses, cattle, sud even
pigs and chickens are very fond of it.
